Jameis Winston A Solid Week 5 Option
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is in a good position in Week 5 to continue putting up solid fantasy numbers with the New Orleans Saints on deck. Winston has surpassed 380 passing yards in each of the past two weeks, and with the Saints Defense giving up 1,117 passing yards through the first four […]
Joseph Magazzinich 5 years agoPeyton Barber Not A Recommended Week 5 Start
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber looked solid in his Week 2 performance but has otherwise been outshined by fellow backfield mate Ronald Jones II. Barber, who looks to have taken a firm back seat to Jones, saved his Week 4 performance by scoring a touchdown after totaling just 19 yards on the ground. […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II has started to separate himself from fellow backfield mate Peyton Barber over the last two weeks.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay bounced back from a disappointing Week 3 performance in a big way Sunday, scoring two touchdowns in what was one of the most entertaining games of Week 4.

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford put up a very solid effort Sunday in a thrilling game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Lions quarterback threw for 291 yards and three touchdowns, connecting with Kenny Golladay twice and T.J. Hockenson once for scores on the day, but it was ultimately not enough to get passed a […]
Joseph Magazzinich 5 years agoRonald Jones II A Very Risky Week 4 Option
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II is coming off his most productive game of the season in Week 3, but expecting him to build off of that performance may be too much of an ask. Jones and the Bucs travel to Los Angeles to take on the Rams in Week 4, and while […]
Joseph Magazzinich 5 years agoPeyton Barber Not A Recommended Week 4 Option
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber doesn't necessarily have the toughest Week 4 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams on deck, but fantasy owners should steer clear nonetheless. The Bucs are likely to try and establish the run early in hopes of keeping the Rams offense off the field, but the high-scoring Rams unit […]

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones has a good chance to build off a solid Week 3 performance with the Kansas City Chiefs coming to town in Week 4. While expecting Jones to lead the Lions in targets, receptions and yards like he did in Week 3 is a bit of a stretch, but the […]
Joseph Magazzinich 5 years agoKerryon Johnson A High-End RB2 In Week 4
Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson could be in line for a big Week 4 performance against the Kansas City Chiefs. Johnson had a tough time running the ball against a solid Eagles run defense in Week 3 but should be able to find more room this week against a Chiefs Defense that allows 6.2 […]

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay is in an excellent position to bounce back from a disappointing Week 3 performance with the Kansas City Chiefs coming to town. Currently leading the Lions in targets by a mile with 27, Golladay should get more than his fair share of opportunities in Week 4 against an unimposing […]
Joseph Magazzinich 5 years agoT.J. Hockenson Not A Trustworthy Week 4 Option
Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson will look to get back on track in Week 4 after two consecutive one-catch weeks. Hockenson lit up the fantasy world after a 131-yard, one-touchdown performance in Week 1, but has totaled just two catches for eight yards since then. The No. 8 pick in the 2019 NFL draft […]
Joseph Magazzinich 5 years agoMatthew Stafford A Solid Week 4 Option
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has a chance to rebound from a mediocre start in Week 3 with a potentially high-scoring game against the Kansas City Chiefs on deck. The Chiefs are susceptible to the run, but the good news for fantasy owners is the game script will likely force Stafford to the air as […]
Joseph Magazzinich 5 years agoPeyton Barber Unable To Build Off Week 2 Performance
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber touched the ball as many times as backfield mate Ronald Jones II but was unable to take the reigns, running the ball 13 times for 48 yards while adding just seven yards through the air in a Week 3 loss against the Giants. This type of performance was […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II totaled 80 yards on 14 carries while adding an additional 41 yards on one reception to lead the Bucs backfield in Week 3.

Joseph Magazzinich 5 years agoJameis Winston Solid In Bucs Loss
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston put his team in position to win with a strong outing Sunday, but it was ultimately not enough as kicker Matt Gay missed a 34-yard field goal at the end of the game to hand the Giants the win. Winston had very little problem moving the ball against the […]
Joseph Magazzinich 5 years agoKenny Golladay Quiet In Lions Win
Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay did not live up to expectations in Week 3, catching only two balls for 17 yards in the Lions win. Fantasy owners were expecting a big day from Golladay, but he was never able to get it going against an unimposing Eagles secondary. The good news for Golladay is […]
Joseph Magazzinich 5 years agoMarvin Jones Shines In Lions Win
Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones rewarded fantasy owners in a big way Sunday, catching six balls for 101 yards and one touchdown to lead the Lions over the Eagles.

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson saw a season-high 20 touches in Week 3 against the Eagles, including four inside the 10-yard line, but was unable to capitalize with C.J. Anderson no longer lurking in the background. Johnson finished the day with a measly 36 yards on the ground and one touchdown while adding one […]
Joseph Magazzinich 5 years agoMatthew Stafford Posts Disappointing Effort In Lions Win
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford looked uncomfortable all game against a normally shaky Eagles secondary, completing 18-of-32 passes for 201 yards and one touchdown in the Lions win. The Eagles front seven wasn't the issue for Stafford, who avoided getting sacked and was hit just three times all game, but he looked off nonetheless. His […]
Joseph Magazzinich 5 years agoLatavius Murray Not A Strong Option In Week 3
New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray was quiet in Week 2, totaling just seven yards on five carries, and could find himself in a similar situation this week with a tough Seahawks run defense on deck. Murray's value takes a hit with quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) out of the lineup, seeing as he likely […]
Joseph Magazzinich 5 years agoDanny Amendola A Risky Week 3 Option
Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola came crashing back down to earth in Week 2, seeing only one target compared to 13 in Week 1.

Joseph Magazzinich 5 years agoTed Ginn Hoping For Better Week 3 Outing
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn accumulated a grand total of zero targets against the Rams in Week 2 after a solid Week 1 performance, and fantasy owners should expect more duds going forward. Ginn, already a boom-or-bust option, finds himself in a tough spot with starting quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) sidelined for the next […]
Joseph Magazzinich 5 years agoJared Cook A Middling TE2 Option In Week 3
New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook has yet to show fantasy owners any uptick in production after joining a new team this past offseason. Through two games with the Saints, Cook has managed a disappointing 64 yards on four receptions. It's not surprising, but not what fantasy owners were hoping for. Cook is now […]
Joseph Magazzinich 5 years agoMichael Thomas Remains Among Top WR Options
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas may be missing his starting quarterback, but that shouldn't stop the fourth-year wide receiver from contributing in a potentially juicy Week 3 matchup against Seattle. Teddy Bridgewater peppered Thomas with targets last week after Brees was forced to leave the game due to injury, and there's no reason […]
Joseph Magazzinich 5 years agoRonald Jones II Not A Trustworthy Option In Week 3
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II faces a relatively weak Giants Defense in Week 3, but that pretty much sums up the good news when it comes to the second-year running back. After an encouraging Week 1 performance, Jones, who was rumored to be the No. 1 back in Week 2, ended up […]
Joseph Magazzinich 5 years agoPeyton Barber Looks To Build Off Week 2 Performance
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber, coming off an impressive 83-yard, one-touchdown performance in Week 2, will look to keep things rolling Sunday with the New York Giants coming to town.

Joseph Magazzinich 5 years agoMarvin Jones An Intriguing Week 3 Option
Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones could be a solid play this week with a suspect Philadelphia Eagles secondary on tap. Jones has attracted 10 targets through the first two weeks of the season and looks to be Matthew Stafford's No. 2 option in the passing game ahead of newcomers Danny Amendola and T.J. Hockenson. […]
Joseph Magazzinich 5 years agoT.J. Hockenson Looks To Rebound In Week 3
Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson will look to rebound in a Week 3 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles after finishing Week 2 with just seven yards on one catch. Inconsistency is to be expected from rookies, especially at the tight end position, so this shouldn't have come as a complete surprise to fantasy owners. […]
Joseph Magazzinich 5 years agoKenny Golladay In Line For Big Week 3 Performance
Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay is in line to have a big day Sunday when the Lions take on the Eagles in Philadelphia. Golladay is coming off a 117-yard, one-touchdown performance and should be able to build off those numbers against a leaky Eagles secondary. Through the first two games of the season, the […]
Joseph Magazzinich 5 years agoMatthew Stafford Has High Floor Heading Into Week 3
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford will look to rebound after a so-so Week 2 performance when the Lions take on the Eagles in Week 3.
